Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) has picked up a questionable designation ahead of Thursday's meeting with San Antonio. He's dealing with plantar fasciitis on his left foot. Clarkson has played in seven consecutive games, putting in some impressive performances. The veteran scorer is averaging 18.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists for the month. Isaiah Collier will get a chance to play a bigger part in the rotation if Clarkson is out, while Johnny Juzang might also feature more. The two players can't be trusted in any fantasy format.
Jordan Clarkson Listed As Questionable For Thursday
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (heel) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Milwaukee. Utah ruled Clarkson out for at least a week last Friday, but he came through a full practice session on Wednesday and appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery. The veteran scorer has missed two games with a heel problem. Clarkson's return will likely push Collin Sexton back to the second unit. However, Sexton should still be impactful. Milwaukee is allowing the fourth-most three-point makes in the league, giving Clarkson a good opportunity to find some rhythm behind the arc. He's nailed only 19.2 percent of his triples so far.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) was diagnosed with left plantar fasciitis. He will be re-evaluated in one week. Utah's injury report continues to grow heading into Saturday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets, with Lauri Markkanen (back) listed as doubtful. Collin Sexton (finger) also suffered an avulsion fracture in Thursday's game against the Spurs, although he will continue to play "as tolerated." Without Markkanen and Clarkson on the floor, Utah will rely on Sexton, John Collins, and Keyonte George primarily on the offensive end. As a result, all three players could exceed expectations while Markkanen and Clarkson are sidelined.
No Teams Interested In Trading For Jordan Clarkson
According to Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune, Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson isn't drawing trade interest from other teams around the National Basketball Association. The 2021 NBA Sixth Man of the Year was a coveted player by contending clubs over the last few seasons. However, after a decline in statistical contributions during the 2023-24 campaign, teams no longer have him on the radar. Clarkson has two years remaining on his current deal. But with many teams in the NBA strapped for cash, he may end up staying in Utah. Unfortunately, his path for playing time could be compromised with Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, and 2024 No. 29 overall pick Isaiah Collier on the roster.
Jordan Clarkson Expected To Leave Jazz In Offseason
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson has likely played his final game with the team. According to NBA insider Evan Sidery, the Jazz are expected to make Clarkson available on the trade market. The soon-to-be 32-year-old has spent the last four and a half seasons in Salt Lake City. Clarkson has mostly been used as a microwave scorer off the bench and won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award for his efforts in 2020-21. He put up 17.1 points and averaged a career-high 5.0 assists this term. The veteran should be a very attractive piece on the trade market, as Clarkson is tied for two years with a deal that pays him $14 million annually.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (back) will remain out of the lineup on Friday against the Clippers. Clarkson has played just five times since the beginning of last month, leaving Utah without its third-best scorer. Keyonte George has gotten a big boost in fantasy value on Utah's backcourt over the final couple of months of the season, with Talen Horton-Tucker also recently breaking back into the rotation. With Collin Sexton (illness) considered doubtful for Friday, George and Horton-Tucker could be used even more on the offensive end.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (back) is officially out for Thursday's game versus the Houston Rockets. This will be the eighth consecutive game missed by Clarkson thanks to a lingering back injury. Clarkson last played on March 25, but that was his only game played while missing 14 of 15 games. Talen Horton-Tucker has seen the biggest fantasy boost after playing 32 minutes in Utah's last game against the Denver Nuggets. The Jazz missing Clarkson, Collin Sexton, and Kris Dunn gives Tucker a strong usage rate against the Rockets in the backcourt. Keyonte George and Johnny Juzang both have higher ceilings, as well as the starting guards.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (pelvis) is out for Tuesday's meeting with the Nuggets. The 31-year-old has been sidelined for 12 of Utah's previous 13 games. But it would be a miracle to see him back on the floor before the end of the 2023-24 campaign. As usual, Collin Sexton and Keyonte George will remain viable DFS options, with the duo combining for 40 points in Sunday's loss to Golden State. At the same time, Johnny Juzang, who had 27 points in that one, should continue to attract the attention of DFS managers.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (pelvis) won't play on Sunday against Golden State. The 31-year-old has missed 11 of Utah's previous 12 games, and with the Jazz having just four contests remaining, he likely won't be back this season. Laurie Markkanen (shoulder), John Collins (back), and Walker Kessler (nose) are also sidelined, so guys like Collin Sexton, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Keyonte George should see a noticeable bump in fantasy production.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (pelvis) won't play on Tuesday versus the Cavs. The Jazz can't make the postseason, so there's a chance the veteran is done for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. But with John Collins (back) and Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) also sidelined, Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, Brice Sensabaugh, and Taylor Hendricks all warrant DFS consideration on Tuesday night.
